Add size checks for the "len" variable in xpadone_process_packet().
This prevents out-of-bounds accesses to the "data" buffer, as "len"
comes directly from the hardware.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Early returns during packet processing bypass `input_sync()`, leaving previously reported events unsynchronized.

Input: xpad - add out-of-bounds checks for xpadone
    
Add size checks for the len variable in xpadone_process_packet() to
prevent out-of-bounds accesses to the data buffer.

[Severity: High]
By returning early here, do we bypass the synchronization of the standard 
buttons and axes that were already reported earlier in this function?

If the controller sends a valid base GIP_CMD_INPUT packet (>= 18 bytes) but 
shorter than 35 bytes, this early return skips the do_sync = true assignment 
and the final input_sync() call at the end of xpadone_process_packet(). 

Would this result in standard inputs becoming unresponsive since the events are 
buffered by the input core but never delivered to userspace?

[Severity: High]
This early return, as well as the ones below for PKT_XBE2_FW_OLD and
PKT_XBE2_FW_5_EARLY, appear to have the same issue. Do they also skip 
input_sync() for the standard inputs?
